The lynching of live negroes nl Yorkrille on Tyesdny, 5th, a full ac count of which, with a history of the cane, appears on our first page, was a thoroughly unnecessary a flair and one greatly to be regretted, not because the brutal murderers of poor little John Lee (Joode did not deserve <1 eath, but because the law' was not allowed to take its due course. The circuiu- •tauces of the killing of young Cioodt- were of peculiar barbarity, but never theless there was no sufficient reason why these men should not have been brought to trial and punished according to the formalities of the law. There was no doubt of their guilt, for a confession hud been made, and there would have beeu no doubt of theii sentence and execution in accordance with law. The circumstances attend ing the killing of young John Lee Goode were not near so bad ns those attending the brutal murder of Messrs. Rnuseiuan and Porthman in Aiken county, in 1876, by five negro ruffians, who killed their victims with axes amt burned their bodies in the ruins of their own dwelling. Notwithstanding these exasperating circumstances, ami the further fact that this was an organized band for the pur|>oses of robbery and murder, the dignity of the law was upheld and these five black ruffians were regularly tried, convicted and hung in accordance with all the formalities of law. The moral effect was beneficial to Aiken county, ami so would it have been for York county if her citizens had exercised sufficient self-restraint and allowed the law tn be upheld in all its majesty. Legal executions are the safeguards of society, but the taking of human life upon no better authority than the sentence of Judge Lynch isdestructive of that respect for the majesty of the law, which at the last is the only true and permanent barrier between law and order aud brutality, anarchy and violence. There is no excuse for a resort t«» lynch law save for the protection of female chastity, and even in this case the guilt of the culprit should be a> clear as the noon-day suit, leaving not the possibility of mistaken identity or other mischance; but in all other cases tlie law, aud on^y the law,should tie the fatal noose. Our fellow citizens of York county have made a grave mistake, £ct we hope tiiat its baneful moral effects may not overtake them. It is folly to talk of bringing to jus- > tic* lu:* —1 m«■—bwtRy or ClIlZCUM. The undertaking at best would result only in a burlesque trial at great ex pense, without a single benefit as com pensation. The difficulty lies deep down in a false public sentiment, and until that is toned up b> the pulpit and the press to a proper respect for the majesty of the law, society is lia- bl* to similar manifestations of vio lence whenever an unreasoning mob sees proper to break down the safe guards to law aud order.

Wyatt Aiken, which took place April 5th at his home in Cokesbury, Abbeville County. This distinguish ed citizen served gallantly during the late war, entering the Confederate Army as a private and rising by pro motion to the colonelcy of his regi ment. He served his district as rep resentative in Congress for ten years, and would doubtless have been re elected fora sixth time if his health had permitted him to serve. He was fallen her from earthquake. Our cotempnrarv, the Aiken Jour nal and Review, made a highly credit able showing both for itself and Aiken in its last issue. The special edition was gotten up with neatness and good taste and rvlleets credit on all con cerned. Major M. B.

There has been a good deal of com- ! j iiieut here in regard to the withdrawal ! from the National Drill, which takes place next month, of two prominent Alabama companies, the “True Blues” und the “Greys”, because some color ed militia will participate in the con test. It is argued by the managers of the coining event that since it is to be a National Encampment and Drill they have no right, civil, military or m> ral, to exclude regularly organizi d soldiery on account of their color. The Drill has the recognition of the Govcr- meiit, in this sense isa National affair, and is simply intended to illustrate the proficiency of volunteer soldiery in tlie manual of arms and military immeuvr. s. The social aspects of tlie occasion ire quite another thing. Soldiers who camp on the field are not obliged to put up at the same hotel, or eat at the same table. As citizens they are stili privileged to select their own associ ates. Colored trooos took part in Pres ident Cleveland’s inauguration, they \ven*assigned a place in the ceremo nies attending the laving of the corner stone of the City Hall at Virginia’- Ca, i al. The manugeingcommittee ot theXatio*ial Drill, which isconipt s al almost exclusively of Democrats aud Southern men, did not hesitate to ad mit the two colored companies which which applied for entry. And, indeed it is not quite clear why the militia system of tlie country is in any more danger from the colored element, which is lawfully recognized in its organization, than Is the regular army which enlists colored men in its ser vice and converts them into soldiers.

Yesterday morning W. I). Bogan and Ids wife passed through Atlanta on their way to Chattanooga, where they will in future reside. Mr. Kogan and his beautiful young bride are the principals in a romantic marriage, which created a great sensa tion iu Sumter, South Carolina a few days ago. General E. W.
